TY - JOUR A1 - Mattos Tavares, Bernardo A1 - Drescher, Hans-Joachim A1 - Kodama, Takeshi T1 - Effects of nucleus initialization on event-by-event observables T2 - Brazilian Journal of Physics N2 - In this work we present a study of the influence of nucleus initializations on the event-by-event elliptic flow coefficient, v2. In most Monte-Carlo models, the initial positions of the nucleons in a nucleus are completely uncorrelated, which can lead to very high density regions. In a simple, yet more realistic model where overlapping of the nucleons is avoided, fluctuations in the initial conditions are reduced. However, v2 distributions are not very sensitive to the initialization choice.
